• Termux (or equivalent) has always been the primary mobile phone use case for me. Access to my main computing platforms from my pocket.
• Antennapod
• Fedilab (Mastodon)
• Fennec - Can’t deal with the web without uBo and other extensions.

Looks great! I used Twire in the past but this is a lot more polished and doesn’t require using an account.

I’ve been using VLC for folder based play of audio files. The UI is not ideal but it works well and the other apps I’ve tried didn’t work out for various reasons. Unfortunately the Android Auto version of the UI doesn’t have access to the folder browsing feature.

No idea if VLC has lyrics support for audio-only files.

I’ve been using NetGuard for many years to block net access for apps that shouldn’t need it. I haven’t noticed any impact on battery life and haven’t run into issues other than what one might expect (for example when it turns out that the blocked app refuses to run without network access)

Didn’t know about RethinkDNS, looks neat, will give it a try sometime.

newpipe can play offline files I’m pretty sure

Don’t think that this is true (unless we are talking about a fork that I am not familiar with). The FAQ has an entry on this and mentions that you need to use an external player. I use mpv and VLC.

Maybe a stickied thread with suggestions and each week pick the highest voted one that hasn’t been discussed yet.

Roguelikes: DCSS, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Nethack

Not OP but my answer to this is that I only add sources that I know I need to make sure I understand where everything comes from and to keep that attack surface lower.

I only add some app-specific repos to get more frequent updates on those. Newpipe and Fedilab in particular.
I know that I could use other tools to install directly from their release images but sticking with F-Droid for now for simplicity.

I must admit that I didn’t realize that we were on c/F-Droid :) But I just gave it a go in termux and got it working there too:

apt install pandoc groff ghostscript
pandoc in.md -o out.pdf --pdf-engine=pdfroff

I use pandoc:
pandoc input.md -o out.pdf

It can use LaTeX or pdfroff for the PDF generation as well as some other backends that I haven’t tried yet. The --pdf-engine flag lets you choose between them.
